However, a little suggestion for the future. The finishing tape I think is too smooth. This is probably why it keeps coming undone so easily. Have you ever considered a slightly "matt" finishing on the tape so that it is easier for the sticky stuff to grip onto?

Just use black electrician tape, divided down the middle to make it narrower. It stays much better.

the RKEP finishing tape is horrible. they springs back and leave yucky residue. do yourself a favor and order a roll of Nitto grip end tape:http://www.mybadmintonstore.com/shop...roducts_id=244it is the best tape i have ever used. a roll will last 50-100 rackets at least.

I tried the G10 and G09, but so far, I sweat way to much for both.. The 10 in yellow start slipping out of my hands within an hour of play.
The G09 is far better, but they get soaked very quickly as well, it doesn't seem to stay dry. While I like the tackyness and feel of G09 when it comes to dry-feel I still think old-fashioned supergrap wins.
Maybe I should try a different Rkep grip, but which would you recommend?

EDIT: btw, I tried the G09 in white yellow black green blue and red. All the darkers colours where the worst of the bunch, but yellow and white felt good; but even they started slipping within 2 sessions and after letting them dry they just got soaked again very easily.

Just order a bunch from Eric and some Nitto tape from MBS! To me, a bad (wet) grip significantly deminishes my performance. Now I can change it as soon as I need to and not have to try to prolong the usage and hopefully it will last longer than the other grip against my sweats too.

G06 G05 G03 all got favorite
Each one got his own preference. Very hard to tell which one is the best.
You could tray each model first before purchase a lot.
I could offer one each trial sample at sample price if you wished.
